After Formula 1, Bondurant went on to do his driving schools (and the books on performance driving that tie in with the schools). Bob still drives occasionally at historic festivals, and also does the odd bit of TV commentary as well. Currently resides in Phoenix, near where his purpose built school and facility is based at Firebird Raceway after previously being situated at Ontario Speedway and Sears Point. Initially Bob worked for Carroll Shelby as a instructor before forming his own school in 1968 after his competitive career effectively ended a year earlier after a colossal crash at Watkins Glen in the US Road Racing Championship event there saw him break both legs and a shoulder.
